A terminally ill Star Wars fan has begged Disney to let him see an early version of Force Awakens before he dies.

Daniel Fleetwood, 32, from Texas, has been a fan of the sci-fi films since he was eight and his dying wish is to see the latest installment of the franchise before its December 18 release date.

Daniel has spindle cell sarcoma, which is a rare form of connective tissue cancer. He was given two months to live in July.

He has already gained support from Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy, and John Boyega, star of the upcoming film, and now he hopes the big bosses - Disney - will listen to his plea and let him see an early version.

"Judging by how progressive the disease has gotten in the past two months, I really don’t think that I’ll be able to make it,” he said.

Daniel's wife Ashley, who kicked off the campaign which soon went viral, said: "It’s a commitment and he still has that commitment, that drive, and that love and I think that it’s a beautiful thing.

"Even if it’s just a movie. That’s magic for a lot of people."

If director JJ Abrams does let Daniel see the film, it wouldn't be the first time he's granted someone a similar dying wish.

In 2013 Abrams granted film buff Daniel Craft access to see Star Trek Into Darkness before it was released. He tragically died just days later.
